Chapter 7- George goes into labour?
It was a little over a week since Arthur and Percy became heads of Departments at the Ministry.
George was staying at Wisteria because Severus kind enough to look after him during his unique pregnancy.
His dad looked in on him once a day, usually right after work but being the Head of the Auror department was hard work but he did try to get off at a decent hour. With no kids of his own that needed attention or a wife, Arthur wasn't worried about much. He had a bunch of beautiful grandbabies to spoil when he had time to visit. He was still staying at Eagle's Nest and until he decided it would be best to relocate he would stay…
George was scribbling potion ideas to work on new products; the shop had been open a few weeks to catch the students before they went to Hogwarts. Fred was running the shop but their friends pitched into, except for Harry who spent most of the time curled up like a kitten and Hermione who was still staying with Viktor's family for the summer.
Severus had told him two weeks before that the babies- whose gender was still unknown had 'dropped'. His magic had formed a birth canal, something unheard of in wizards. All male pregnancies had c-sections. He had been having cramps for hours, steadying growing closer together and more painful.
He stood and let out a cry as his legs gave out, his robes and the carpet seemed drenched. He gasped at a contraction; he barely had time for a few breaths when he was hit with another contraction.
Arthur walked into check on his son only to find him curled up, wet and gasping. "George!"
"Dad! Get Fred. Please. I think my water broke." George wanted Fred…
Arthur summoned Audy, "Go bring Fred home. George is in labour." He lifted his currently youngest son and carried him wet robes and all towards the bedroom they stayed in.
They ran into Remus.
Remus smelled the strange scent on George, "What's wrong?"
"I think he's in labour. I sent Audy after Fred." Arthur was suspicious that Fred was the father but said nothing, wanting to keep George free from stress.
"I'll get Sev and we'll join you in his room." Remus left, intending on sending Dobby and Dippy for George's older brothers.
Arthur had cared for George as a baby but seeing his son ripe with child and moaning with each contraction was difficult. He closed his eyes, sighing, sending George's wet clothes to the hamper and using a gentle cleansing charm to clean his son before covering him with sheets.
Severus limped a little on his way into the room, steeling himself he leaned over to check how far along George was. "Seven Centimeters. I'm sorry George but it looks like you'll be in labour for a few hours."
"I've been having contractions for almost three hours already." George said wincing.
"How close are they together?"
"About three minutes? Give or take a few seconds."
"Georgie!"
George groaned as the next contraction hit, Fred was here, that made him feel better.
Fred hurried to his side and squeezed his hand gently.
Depending on how long George was in labour it was quite likely they would be missing the train.
The room filled with family as the night progressed; Blaisé's old room here was serving as a nursery for Carina, Athena, Perseus, Sean, Victoire and Louis. The house elves had brought in chairs for the assembled family.
Even Harry managed to stay awake…
It was after midnight when Severus spoke, "You're full dilated now and your contractions are a minute apart. Shouldn't be long now."
George had been in labour for over eight hours now and he wanted it over with. He wanted to hold his babies…
Fred's hand was bruising and it was possible that he might have a fracture with the way George was squeezing it. He didn't care; he just wished they could have had a c-section like Percy had.
Severus could see the head of the first child, "Alright George, you need to push."
Narcissa had prepared everything and was just waiting to clean it. She was looking forward to grandchildren as well as Severus' first children, how could Molly Weasley not want to be apart of her children's lives much less her grandchildren?
It was almost twenty minutes before the baby's shoulders exited George's body, then another five before the hips and it slipped out like that.
Severus caught the baby and handed it to Narcissa, "It's a girl."
Fred had been looking at baby name books; he had picked out a beautiful name just in case they had a girl. He loved his mother as foolish as she was but he would never name his daughter after her. He whispered a name in George's ear.
George nodded.
"Clarissa Isadora Weasley." Fred said proudly. "Clarissa was the sister of a knight of King Arthur's court. Isadora means gift and she is one.
Bill laughed, "Now Percy is the only one of us without a girl."
"Wonder if he'll have two?" Charlie teased.
"Naw," Blaise chuckled, "he isn't part Veela."
Narcissa bathed little Clarissa, put a clean nappy on her and dressed her in a cute yellow sleep suit. The twins had adamantly refused anything 'twinish' having suffered their mother's insistence on treating them as the entity 'FredandGeorge' rather then two people with different talents, likes and dislikes.
Fred held his daughter, a girl? He felt his heart go out to this little one despite his earlier wishes for two sons. He didn't know much about girls; he was NOT going to raise a spoiled holy terror like Ginny. He'd rather have a grounded girl with a head on her shoulders like 'Mione.
George's contractions slowed, to a crawl compared the way they slammed him before.
Fred rocked the tiny thing; he could hardly believe what a miracle she was. A complete accident but a welcome one, he rocked her, accepting a bottle from a house elf, Dobby? Which he used to feed the tiny perfect little life, they'd created together against all odds.
Everyone but Severus, Narcissa, Fred and George dosed off.
It was getting later but still the second baby wouldn't come…
The train would be leaving for Hogwarts at eleven o'clock…
It was almost eight now…
George reached up towards Severus, "It's okay isn't it?" the contractions wouldn't progress past three minutes apart.
Severus nodded, "A best I can tell."
George groaned, having not slept all night he was miserable. "Please, just take it."
Severus reluctantly gave him a potion to halt labour as he used a carefully controlled slicing jinx to cut George open. Putting his hands inside the teen's body he pulled out the baby, handing it to Narcissa as he cut the cord and removed the womb.
Narcissa cleaned the baby, put it in a nappy and a red sleep suit before handing the baby to Fred. "It's a boy."
Severus cleaned George up, sealing the wound and covered him up.
"With a Clarissa Isadora, we need a Gawain Jesse…" Fred said snuggling, "Clarissa and Gawain were brother and sister from Arthurian legend. Isadora and Jesse start a new letter pairing, F and G are getting old. We've had a Fabian and Gideon as well as a Fred and George."
So they could rest, Severus woke up everyone so they could fawn over Arthur's newest grandbabies.
Remus was awake first.
After everyone had flailed over the babies, Severus ushered them out to let the new parents rest and so the Hogwarts bound could get ready.
The elves had tended to children all night; but the parents were anxious to hold their own babies.
Percy was happy for his job because of the protection it afforded him; he'd gone into work to set up his department most of the last week. His work with other prefects both as a prefect himself and Head Boy came in quite handy. He was reluctant to leave Sean but Janie watched him unless it was Oliver's day off. He wouldn't admit it but his mother's silence did hurt, but he had Janie and Narcissa who care about his little family.
Blaise and Charlie fed their little ones before handing them to Audy and Jocy to get ready while they went to bathe and dress as well.
So I really put some thought into those names, what do you think? Poor George, it was what sixteen hours in labour? oh well, I don't think he'll be eager to have children again. Fred was so cute with little Clarissa...
Arthur is an amazing dad, so openminded and caring without Molly around...
Outstanding? Exceeds Expectations? Acceptable? Troll?
Hope you like.
